I agree that there's a point where you're right. In the final, it's a given, and even the semi final, I agree with you. But before the quarter final - nah, we're still a way off.

Yes they do but why? We don't have to make it FA cup tradition.

Thanks Greens :(
A quick prediction. At the end of the season, our goals scored figure will be the same number as our games played. Averaging exactly one goal per game

No, I was talking about KLL - thought he was poor again. Dave is a winger in the Beckham mould - ie not one!
O well, never mind. At least it was not a complete disaster.

He is excellent at falling over
Yes. And cutting inside to miss the far post by five yards.

Still pissed off that we lost this by two soft goals. I thought we had a good chance because their team managed to score even less than the Albion in the Championship last season.
I think we missed Bridcutt and we certainly missed Buckley and probably Bruno and Crofts would have made a difference as well. I really thought that David Rodríguez should have had a chance to run at their left back.
It might just come down to the results at the weekend, the confidence spilling over for Hull, until near the end when I was very disappointed that we did not equalise, when Ince was beginning to run the midfield.
One moment that stuck in my mind early on was Lopez quite a long way out on the right had their full back to beat, but he crossed deep to Ulloa marked by two in the centre. What a waste. Buckley would have cruised past their full back and made a proper chance not wasting it. Groan.

If we make sixth that will be Burnley or Derby away, probably. Much the same sort of game I would suspect.

Just back from the match feeling totally confused - the general consensus amongst those at the ground seems to be that we were total rubbish in the first half which I have to agree with!
It was so bad that if you had to choose a MOM for Albion at half-time then it would have had to have been a Hull player!
My confusion arises from the simple fact that none of our players seemed to show any confidence or belief in what they were doing - it was almost as though they had gone out on the pitch without any sort of tactical plan - I presume OG must have briefed them before the game but the players either patently didn't hear him or didn't understand the instructions.
Anyhow off to bed now and maybe after watching a recording of the match it may become clearer.
Have a thought for those poor sods on the coaches who probably have another hours drive in front of them.

The Buckley of a couple of seasons ago would have. Not sure if 2013-2014 version still does that.

44 goals over 46 games. So close.

Surely Spun Cuppa was talking about last season given the date of the post? Impressive premonition if not.
Pah! Insignificant details.
